Development of Water Hydraulic System
Common hydraulic system using hydraulic oil as their working medium but there is an application using water due to high accessibility and environmentally concern.Water hydraulic is an attractive technology to use water as the pressure medium in hydraulic system. In this paper, water hydraulic system is design and develops that capable to use water as pressure medium. Water is used to provide clean environment and safe for the mobile purpose. The system includes electric motor, water pump, directional control valve, pressure control valve and motor hydraulic. Some of water challenged as the pressure medium in hydraulic system were considered during build and design the system to minimize the bad effect of water in hydraulic system. Besides, the arrangement of hydraulic components on the test rig also considered to optimize the water hydraulic system performance. Water hydraulic system performance was analyzed by measured maximum pressure produced from water pump and system efficiency. Others, the effect of temperature increment in water hydraulic system also analyzed to optimize operation time.
